On Demand
Almost all of the channels offer on demand content, with just a few exceptions (like Animal Planet) having no VOD content.
You won’t be able to fast-forward through on demand content, but you can continue watching where you left off.
We had lots of playback issues with AT&T TV NOW’s on demand content: videos would often fail to load or freeze during playback. But it seems to have improved a bit with their latest app update.
Parental Controls
AT&T TV NOW has some parental controls to help restrict content.
DIRECTV STREAM, Hulu Live TV, and Sling TV also have parental control features.
72-Hour Rewind Feature
72-Hour Rewind allows you to access shows that aired in the last 72 hours. It is available on over 30 channels (mostly cable networks). However, it has similar restrictions as on demand content (you cannot rewind or fast-forward).
Channel Surfing Feature
Channel Surfing allows you to flip through channels with your remote. AT&T TV NOW is the only streaming service that made it easy to change channels like you are watching traditional cable/satellite TV. It takes about 2.5 seconds to switch channels, which is slightly better than average.
